Logan, editor of the Professional World, a colored people's journal, published at Columbia, issued a neat Christmas edition. lie is a son of Anderson Logan, a respected colored man of this place. The New Hloomfield News. Our thanks are due the following named persons who have recently paid subscriptions to this paper, Mrs. Ida King, Jefferson City, Miss Victoria Sands, Mrs.

Charlotte Williams, Mr. Perry Bone, of Columbia, and Mrs. Laura Watts, of Kewanee, Ills. It is now very much in evidence that Dr. Crossland's successor will not be named from Missouri, and it comes as no surprise to the most considerate.

There are too many factions in Missouri just at this time for the appointment to be made from the state, if the good of the party is to be considered. The JProfessional World, published at Columbia, Missouri, comes to our desk, this week with a new suit of clothes. It is full of news and bespeaks well for the management. Its local people should feel proud of it. It is a credit to the town and its inhabitants.

The Western Enterprise (Colorado.) niv niyu Williams, of Scott county a member of the present legislature of this state has introduced a bill providing for the "Jim Crow" cars in Missouri while it is not at all probable that a majority of the members of the present legislature would ever vote such a measure, we regret to know that such a narrow minded prejudiced piece of creation as represents Scott county, sits in the legislature. It is not at all probable that Mr. Scott is annoyed by having to ride in train coaches with negroes, except on going to and from Jefferson City and that only during the legislature. "There must be a great flowing river of ink annually spilled in Washington, to sav nothing of the forests of cedar and mines of lead and graphite used in pencils, and many tons of horses' hoofs and of gum arabic in the clarified form of mucilage. remarked inquiringly a gentleman to a friend in the United States capital the other day.

all the ink used in the executive departments was poured down Pennsylvania avenue at one time the people would have to take to small boats, while the mucilage used would make a good-sized pond, for, in addition to that used in the business, all of the hundreds of millions of postage stamps annually turned out are gummed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. "Millions of pins arc used annually. If all the pencils and penholders were piled into a heap in the White Lot they would make a fine big bonfire on a cold night. "The Interior Department is one of the largest in the city and it uses annually 146000 lead pencils, 0,925 gross of steel pens, 5,000 quarts of black ink and 2,500 quarts of mucilage." GOOD MEN NEEDED. During the present session of the State Legislature, Gov.

Dockcry will name two new members of the Board of Regents of Lincoln Institute, and it is to be hoped that the Governor will consider the good of the institution to the extent that he will name two good men for these posit ions, if the management of the institution is to be taken as a criterion. Some of the members of the present Board can be greatly improved upon. Callaway Couoty Abolishes Road Districts and Commissioners for Overseers. The'Callaway county court, like Boone county, has abolished the present road district system and established in its place the old overseer plan, which was in vogue until about i8qo. The Gazette savs: "Authority for the change was granted bythe last general assembly.

Heretofore there have been forty road districts in the county, and in charge of each district was a com mission composed of three men, one of whom was clerk at a salary of $10 per year. The other com missioners received per year for their labor, and in addition the overseer of work received a daily salary. JNow the county is divided into thirty-eight districts and road work will be under the supervision of one man in each district, and the $20 paid the commissioners each year can be used for additional work. The division of the road districts is so arranged that no district has both sides of the Auxvasse creek in it. TO PROHIBIT FOOT BALL.

The Jefferson City Tribune has the following upon a subject that will occasion a fierce fight in the general assembly "There will be a bill introduced at this session to prohibit the playing of foot ball in the colleges under the state's control to such an extent that it absorbs the attention not only of the players but most of the student body for about three months out of each year. The habit of junketing around over the states with foot ball teams is not popular with those who make up the rank and file. Wholesome exercise is a good tuing, and moderate out door sport is too universally recognized as an essential to the right training of the mind to be opposed by any man of common sense. But the extreme to which football in its brutality and nonsense has gone of late years has created a general public sentiment that is anything but friendly." The Fayette Adertiser says: G. Slate, the Moniteau county representative in the legislature, has announced his attention of going before the committee on appropriations with statistics showing the fatalities of foot ball and to fight against giving aid to the schools supported by the state unless they agree to prohibit the game.

Representative Slate seems to have a propensity for fighting all strenuous games. During a previous term of the legislature he became well known because of the bitter war he waged upon the department stores. Doubtless he has now decided that foot ball is fully as violent as a bargain counter rush." THIRTEEN A LUCKY NUMBER. Replying to the question propounded by a person in New York as to whether 1903 is to be a lucky or unlucky year, Professor C. A.

L. Totten, formerly military instructor in Yale, savs: "What is the matter with cither Friday or the number 13? As to America it bears all over its heraldry and Friday has been its 1 1 I chief day (discovery of America, Declaration of Independence, etc). "We have thirteen letters in Pluribus Unum. thirteen more in Annuit Coepits, both being mottoes on our great seal. have 1 3 thirteen times repeated on that seal Take out a new silver quarter, if you have one left, and count the 13 even on its obverse face.

Dear me! Don't worry over the luckiest number that there is, a full baker' dozen is 13 i. one is for good measure, pressed down and running 1 over.

NICHOLS e. Naperrllle, Illinois. THE OLD AND THE NEW. The New Year came to the Old Year's door When the sands were wasting thin, And the frost lay white on the Old 1 ear thatch, And his hand grew chill as he slipped the latch To let the New Year in. And the New Year perched in the Old 1 ear chaw And warmed by the Old Year's fire, And the Old Year watched him with wistful gaze As he stretched his hands to the fading blaze And cinders of dead desire.

And the Old Year prated, as Old 1 cars will, Of summer and vanished spring, And then of the future, with grave advice. Of love and sorrow and sacrifice That the seasons' round would bring. And the New Year listened and warmed his heart In the bloom of the Old Year's past, Hut he gave no heed of the thorns that lay In the bud and blow of a coming clay. And, nodding, he dreamed at last. The New Year came to the Old Year's door And warmed in the Old Year's chair, And the Old Year talked till the New Year slept, Then forth in the night nc softly stepped And left the New Year there.

Owing to close confinement in business. I suffered from a bad touch of indigestion, so much so as to cause me intense pain. My tongue was coated; had severe pains around my eyes and felt miserable. Through the persuasion of a friend I tried Ripans Tabules, and after taking them for two days I obtained some relief. I kept on taking them, and can safely say they have cured me.

Representative Thomas V. Crow and wife of Regal, Ray county, narrowly escaped death from asphyxiation at Jefferson City. On retiring Mr. Crow blew out the gas and when discovered next morning both he his wife were in a stupor from which it took the services of a physician to arouse them. Mr.

Crow is a prominent farmer and a member of the legislature. Moberly Democrat: Dr. Thomas Irwin, during his twenty-eight years residence in Moberly has officiated at no less than 50 births and is now bringing into the world the children of those whom he attended at their birth, when he first came to Moberly. In one family the doctor has delivered fourteen children. Is there a physician in Missouri who can beat his record? We doubt it.

Owen McCarton, a rich recluse of Oceanic, New Jersey, died recently, aged 70 years. For 3 years he had not crossed the thresh-hold of his dwelling between sunrise and sunset, because of an election bet. During the campaign of 1872 between Grant and Grcely, McCarton was one of the latter's most enthusiastic supporters. He made a bet that if Grant was elected he would not leave his house, except during the night, as long a9 he lived. Mr.

McCarton lived up to his wager. The Pautz family of four brothers have died within a year. They were.
